Paul,

Paul once again you are lying through your teeth. You no more believe that I am a one nation member than I believe that you are a convicted pedophile.

Hi Shadow,

Not to sure about that Shadow, in the 10 years we have been sparring on the Forum I think your opinions have moved from small 'l' liberal to far more right wing, maybe just an age thing. This calling me a liar over and over again is a bit much, and this attributing "thinking" to me, and when challenged calling it "opinion" is a cop out as well. Anyone can say so and so is what you like, and then later qualify "well it was only my opinion". You tend to drop in with those attacks, when you have not been contributing in general on a discussion.

Hows would this sound, and how would it be treated by the media, coming from a Trump political opponent when answering a direct question about Trump and women; "I don't think Donald Trump is a drug dealer, but I do think he's a womaniser." Throwing in the unrelated drug dealing is a backhanded way of planting suspicion in the mind of the listener. Just as your last comment put the old unrelated nasty "I don't think you are a convicted pedophile" then why say it, it does not relate to the topic, is it done to plant suspicion. You seem to have a thing with that, for a good while you would try guilt by association, knowing I am a member of the Greens and given some bloke, totally unknown to me, who at some time had also been a member, had ran unsuccessfully as a candidate in a local council election, and then was charged with paedophile offences. That combo was picked up by the right wing media and given some space, then you kept asking if I knew this grub. Over and over I told you I didn't, but you kept asking. Gilt by association, say it often enough, some people will start believing it. A favourite tactic of one Joseph Goebbels.

Paul,

With all due respect your posts over the last decade have been loaded with hyperbole from mere exaggeration to the point of outright dishonesty, and to a large extent I simply called you out and refrained from more robust language. However, when you started deliberately misquoting me and continued doing so after the lie being pointed out I started calling you a liar .

You then retaliated a few days ago calling me a liar for misquoting you when I clearly had not quoted you at all, but rather stated my opinion on your beliefs based on plenty of your prior commentary.

Your next move was to then to proceed to make a string of bogus claims about me that don't have shred of support in any of my posts, the latest of which is the fantastical claim that I am a One nation member in spite of my frequently posting that I never have and never will join a political party.

As to my political views, I don't believe that they have changed, but given the rise of identity politics and the censorious nature of the left into which both Labor and the Greens have immersed themselves our paths have certainly become more distant.

I am prepared to call a truce, but will still call you out when you stray too far.

Truce Shadow, agreed and ditto. When I first joined the Forum you were one of my favourite jousters. I think everyone as they grow older tend to become more conservative. My two grandchildren aged 12 and 13 asked me this morning what was it like for us in "1940" (can you tell me ha ha). I said other than not being born then we didn't watch TV, Grandson said "Why... was it black and white. Nah...it didn't exist."...:could not believe it, no TV.

Can you believe this? The NSW Police are investigating one of the ScumO ministers Angus Taylor over possible criminal activity. What does ScumO do, he rings the NSW police commissioner Mick Fuller for a chat about the matter. Was the chat anything to do with political interference with a criminal matter? Did the conversation go something like this; "Mick, Remember the good old days down in the shire, when we were neighbours and mates, you would bring in my garbage bin, I would take out your garbage bin, it now time to bury the garbage. By the way, me boy Angus is in the clear? Right its all sweet okay." Should the matter end up in court will Morrison get the judge on the blower so he can give him is verdict? ScumO refuses to release details of his conversation with Fuller, this is the kind of thing that goes on in some autocratic state run by a dictator.
